The food at IES Hässelby Strand is definitely of the best in Sweden. There are many children that do not have as healthy and tasty lunches as we do at our school - some do not even have lunches. Credit for the food at our school mainly goes to the great kitchen staff but the school also invests in buying good products and equipment to prepare the food.
Fact is, too much food is wasted at our school and in the country as a whole. To prevent this we have some suggestions:
· Do not take more food than you are going to eat. Start with a small portion and then take more if you think it tastes good, which is always the case at our school.
· Take a wide variety of different food types. It is healthier and you can always take more later.
· Leave the lunch room shortly after you have finished your meal. This will allow the next group to find a table easier and allow them to have a more enjoyable lunch.
Ms. Schäfer, the principal, said the following, “At this school we think food is very important for the students to be able to perform good in class, therefore we prioritise the food highly. In one year we spend over one million Swedish kronor on the lunch.”
“The food is good, it´s as good as in Jönköping,” according to a former teacher from Jönköping.
IES Hässelby gives you the option of three different menus to choose from every day: meat, fish and a vegetarian meal. Head chef Caroline said the following, “It takes about 3 - 3.5 hours to make a meat stew.”
It is difficult to imagine that it takes so much effort to prepare a meal, but the quality is excellent. Do not waste food because it costs a lot of money and takes a lot of time and energy to prepare which is not good for the environment.
